Over a thousand Boca Juniors fans turned a slither of Miami coastline into 'Boca Beach' ahead of their Club World Cup opener against Benfica on Monday.

Gathering on the famed Bark Beach, fans pounded drums, waved flags and grilled meat on the white sands of Florida's south coastline.

In celebratory scenes that could be expected at next year's World Cup, see below a selection of colourful images as Argentinians partied for hours ahead of their debut in the competition.

Boca Juniors went on to draw 2-2 in one of the games of the tournament so far and face Bayern in the city on Friday.
